Details

Professors Vrooshka and Crump decide to visit an archaeological site to study the artifacts there. Lo and behold, it's right next to a caravan site where all manner of people are staying. With a randy Major owning the site, a snobbish mother, and the two professors' constant innuendos, the film ends with a sinking caravan site and a striptease performance as a replacement for the cabaret night.

Curapedi I cannot think of one single thing that I would change about this film. The acting is incomparable, the directing deft, and the writing poignantly brilliant.
Aneesa Wardle The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.
Erica Derrick By the time the dramatic fireworks start popping off, each one feels earned.

Spikeopath It's a retread of Carry On Camping only with caravans as the usual array of characters ripe for fun picking innuendo laden shenanigans. Plot for what it's worth has a bunch of Carry On holidaymakers caravanning next to a Roman excavation site being run by Prof Anna Vrooshka (Elke Sommer) and Prof. Roland Crump (Kenneth Williams). Chaos inevitable ensues.The absence of Sid James, Charles Hawtrey, Hattie Jacques and Terry Scott was always going to be felt (they had all left the franchise by this time), but Williams, Bernard Bresslaw , Kenneth Connor, Joan Simms and Peter Butterworth plough on stoically with the thin formulaic screenplay. Windsor Davis supplements them but he's no Sid James.The series would trundle out two more films in the 70s before the ill advised comeback movie in 1992 (Carry on Columbus), one of which was the dreadful Carry on England. "Behind" isn't an awful movie as it does have its moments, such as the by-play between Sommer and Williams, and Bresslaw's henpecked husband act. It's also a very good snapshot of the era with budget holidays pointing to the unsteady political climate, while the sexual aspects reek of a time well left behind – but those attitudes did exist back then.Passable Carry On fare but carrying with it the sadness in knowing the series was long past its sell by date. 6/10
w22nuschler Elke Sommer and Kenneth Williams play archeologist's. They go to an archaeological site to study some artifacts. They run into a bunch of campers with crazy lives. Windsor Davies makes his first appearance in a Carry On film. He is funny as always. I love the way he talks. He was also great in Carry on England. I also enjoyed Bernard Bresselaw. He gets to play a character without wearing costume or a lot of make-up for once. I do miss Sid James. This is the first film they did after he retired from the Carry on series. This to me is not one of the funniest Carry On's. A lot of people say this is the last great Carry On. I like Carry on England slightly better. The last great Carry On for me was Carry on Matron. That really had some funny moments and it was my favorite, Jacki Piper's last appearance.
naseby In spite of Sid James and Barbara Windsor missing, Bernie Bresslaw, Peter Butterworth, Kenneth Connor, Joan Sims and Kenny Williams powered this, the last of the best 'Carry Ons', as when 'England' came after it, the series never recovered. Aided strangely, but welcome, by the talented German actress, Elke Sommer playing a sexy Russian archaeologist. It's much like 'Camping' but with added features of Ms Sommer's character of Professor Vooshka, bawdily going through the usual motions with some standard but effective gags. Prof. Vooshka was ripe for getting her English mixed up among the campers - when stating her caravan was filthy and looking for a brush to clean it: "I am lookings for scrubbers - I am keeping how you say, a dirty caravan!" much to the chagrin of Bernie Bresslaw! The latter unfortunately, is at odds with his battleaxe mother-in-law along with him, (Joan Sims) and his wife played by Patsy Rowlands.Good to see Ian Lavender as another camper with his wife, dotty Adrienne Posta, doting on the beast of a pet dog 'Ollie'.The assistant archaeologists are getting the girls (Sherrie Hewson and Carol Hawkins), instead of the usual middle-aged 'crumpet-chasers' played by Windsor Davies and Jack Douglas.Peter Butterworth is the minging aide to Major Leap (Kenneth Connor) who owns the campsite. Butterworth actually turns out to be the long-estranged husband to Joan Sims who rekindle their love a little after Butterworth informs her he's a reformed character after being away from her for ten years. He buys her affection somewhat by telling her he's saved hard over the years - £20,000 in that time - after winning £19,950 on the football pools only a few months' ago! Kenneth Williams plays a straight-laced assistant archaeologist to Prof. Vooshka, trying to correct her English, mostly, when it happens to be sexually imparted. "Hitting it off," says Prof. Vooshka, "is like 'HAVING it off', no?" Williams is constantly hampered, even thinking he's dying when he knocks his head and sees blood (Actually tomato sauce which poured out of a bottle on to his nut!). Right from the start of the film, he's showing a film of an archaeological dig, only oblivious whilst reading the narrative with it, that it's been substituted with a film of a stripper. "The lower reaches of the area, tend to be be swampy"!.The campsite is the focus of course and the archaeologists are examining the site for Roman remains - all the campers find it when their caravans fall down holes caused by the Romans' mining operations!Quite a good one from the gang and as I've said, it was definitely the last of the best and enjoyable in the true fashion of 'Carry On' films.
crossbow0106 This film has the carry oners on holiday at a caravan park. Immediately, you get the feeling you've been here before. I tried to like this film, but I just didn't find it very funny. I found the humor somewhat forced and obvious, which you expect, but they have in the past still made it fresh. The silly factor is major here, which normally is fine, but it doesn't work here. The jokes are here, but it wasn't the kind of film where they are many and, again, they seem forced. I would recommend other Carry On films before this, many of them. Not horrible, and there are some amusing moments, but not up to their usual standard.
